Silver sulfate is used in electroplating processes to produce smooth, uniform silver coatings on metals, enhancing conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is employed in the preparation of silver-based catalysts for organic synthesis and oxidation reactions. While silver ions have antiseptic properties, silver sulfate is not commonly used as a mild antiseptic in medical or wound care applications. It is utilized in analytical chemistry for the determination of halides through precipitation titrations. Additionally, it is found in certain types of batteries and solid electrolytes due to its ionic conductivity.
